Xbox 360 sales reach 80 million unit

Microsoft has now sold to retailers (that is, shipped) more than 80 million consoles across the world, the company announced today as part of its NPD report for September.

Xbox 360 software sales in the United States alone reached $401.2 million in September, the biggest month on record for the company and more than any other console in the US.Grand Theft Auto V was likely a contributor to that milestone, as that game alone made up more than 50 percent of all US software sales in September.
